While breast augmentation surgery can yield beautiful results, it’s essential to be informed of potential risks and complications. These can include bleeding, adverse reactions to anesthesia, scarring, and changes in nipple or breast sensation. Capsular contracture, a condition where scar tissue forms around the implant and tightens, may occur. Implants may also rupture or leak, leading to additional surgery. In rare cases, asymmetry, wrinkling, or rippling of the breasts may develop.
To minimize these risks, it’s crucial to choose a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon that you trust, follow post-operative care instructions diligently, and communicate openly about any concerns throughout the process.
At Quintessa, it is rare to see the above risks in our patients. Dr. Butz’s education, training, and experience have taught him well to minimize these risks and produce beautiful results.
